Strange Bandanas: The White & Yellow One
I own hundreds of bandanas. Many of them have strange stories connected to them. Here is one…
This bandana is white with streaks of bright yellow. It’s quite eyecatching.
It also contains the spirit of Eleonora Rial, a 22 year old Mexican chorus girl who worked in many stage shows in Mexico City and other cities. I managed to find a couple of photos of here, and she was very beautiful.
In 1927, at the age of 20, she married a 38 year old man named Pablo Santanilla, an actor on the stage and in bit parts in movies. He was a cad, but Eleonora was starry eyed in love with him.
Two years into their marriage, his eyes began to wander to other women. In addition, he was getting fewer jobs and Eleonora was getting more and better ones. He began drinking.
A month before her 23rd birthday, Pablo got drunk, they started arguing, and then he grabbed the bandana and started strangling her. With her last thought, she asked for her death to be avenged.
Next thing she new, she had become the bandana and was unwrapping from her dead body on the floor. She was able to fly up and start strangling Pablo. Panicking and with the garrote tightening, he stumbled, fell over and hit his head on a metal sculpture. He bled out in a couple of minutes.
Meanwhile, Eleonora, still very confused, flew out the window and off into the night sky. At some point, she came down in a big city, in somebodies back yard. After that, her memories get dim, aside from learning that she could no longer become mobile.
She thinks she spent about 40 years in a closet somewhere in San Diego. All I know is that I bought the bandana in a thrift store in Modesto in 1987.
Eleonora seems convinced that her spirit will leave the bandana on the 100th anniversary of her death, in 2029. I think I’ll miss her.
